The United States is also tasked with protecting its borders, but takes a more appropriate approach. In 2012, the PEW research

    The conditions of Australia’s immigration detention policies have also been cause for concern for probable contraventions of Articles 7 and 10 of the ICCPR. Whilst in Sweden, asylum seekers are afforded free housing whilst their applications are being processed, Australia’s methods are much more callous.
